I didn't read this entire thread line for line, but what about these ideas?

Where is you temp sensor connected too? Is it going into the head?

Take the thermostat completely out and see what happens. You could have something simple like the wrong housing or thermostat so that there is some interference and the thermostat is not opening completey.

What is the brand and the part number of the intake and heads your running? With this much of an issue are your certain the water jackets bewteen the intake and heads are lined up correctly? Could you have a 400 block or heads and you need the steam holes drilled?

Or, you could have a later model intake and early heads or something? Been a few years, but some intakes needed the water passages blocked or left open with certain heads and you could either get intake gaskets with or without the passages? Did you make sure all the openings matched between the intake/intakegasket/heads/head gaskets/block?
